Itâs not hard to see why you might find yourself looking at a box of orzo and wanting to call it rice.
All of our cereal grains belong to this family, including wheat (Triticum), rice (Oryza), wild rice (Zizania), corn (Zea), oats (Avena), barley (Hordeum), millet (Echinochloa) and rye (Secale). The seeds of virtually all other grasses are also considered edible, if they are not infected by the ergot fungus.
